Oh, I agree. Surprised that our O struggled early & the D game up 2-3 big plays.

I’m calling the SDSU game a probable loss.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 8:41am

We won 42-10 playing 2-3's and Seniors who don't typically play. And knelt

Blueto

11/17/19 8:47am

Score means very little. Game 10 and we still lack discipline, focus.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 8:49am

If it helps, feel free to worry about a game two weeks away.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:25am

Oh, I thought this was a venue to talk sports. Speculate and stuff...

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 11:46am

Pretty sure it is still. Translation: I'm not as worried & won't fret–2 weeks...

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:53am

I think we will see a different team when we get SDSU

pappabear246

11/17/19 12:30pm

That QB has only played two good games in 2019.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 12:58pm

That doesn’t change the fact that we let a backup FCS RB run all over us, and had a ton of bad penalties on the OLine

DieHarder

11/17/19 8:49am

No, but ultimately we still won 42-10 in spite of the issues you

basman

11/17/19 9:10am

Why would mental penalties be ok in game 10?

Blue for Life

11/17/19 12:01pm

shouldn't our 2's and 3's still dominate an FCS opponent on a now 5 game losing

Powerbait DPM studnt

11/17/19 10:42am

42-10 isn't dominant?

Blueto

11/17/19 11:02am

UU dominated the same foe 31-0.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:25am

So we had a bigger spread? Plus we took a knee. All kidding

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:52am

Oh, I agree. Surprised that our O struggled early & the D game up 2-3 big plays.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:57am

THey really dominated. 550 yards to 150

BYU '80

11/17/19 2:49pm

Oh, I thought a game was won or lost based on score. Thanks for the info.

Benfica1

11/17/19 3:58pm

Clearly a team that outgained the other by 400 yards and pitched a shutout

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:42pm

We played starters and guys who get significant time nearly the whole game

BYU '80

11/17/19 2:48pm

My honest opinion and many will disagree:

DanSmith

11/17/19 8:48am

I’m sure this will be a really popular opinion. Baylor can do no wrong on here

DieHarder

11/17/19 8:51am

He doesn’t do much wrong on the field either

DanSmith

11/17/19 8:56am

Liberty was a meh game. Ok but not great.

Turnpike Lane

11/17/19 9:21am

Check PER for Romney every game including Liberty. Anything over 145

Cougarbib

11/17/19 10:46am

He's solid, but a bunch of Romney's chuck plays were

I'mBatman

11/17/19 9:36am

If we get the Zach we had yesterday then yes we will lose.

Seasider

11/17/19 8:55am

He had a qb rating of 126.8 against Idaho, his rating so far this season is 129

Blubook

11/17/19 12:56pm

And Baylor loses vs USC. Zach’s legs won that game

Graig Swame

11/17/19 1:46pm

IDK. Maybe. But, yes, Zach played well in that 1 game this season.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 1:56pm

I think we end up beating SDSU by 10. And I’ve got many of the same issues that many have on here with the team and the

specsauce

11/17/19 8:49am

I'm sure their defense is good, but have they played any good offenses?

ManicBlue

11/17/19 8:50am

I hope you’re wrong too.

lightmann

11/17/19 8:51am

I don't know how we can be critical of yesterday's defense

donnerstag

11/17/19 8:58am

True, I was far more concerned with the O.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 9:01am

The defense was fine for the most part. The only concerning part for me is

ManicBlue

11/17/19 11:24am

ONly three tackles for loss and no sacks

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:44pm

Seriously?

PessimisticCB

11/17/19 9:08am

I know, I know...

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 9:31am

Dont forget the refs. The refs caused all our losses.

coldcoug

11/17/19 6:44pm

Objectivity is frowned upon here

stansburycoug

11/17/19 7:01pm

I think it's a probable win with Baylor Romney.

eddog

11/17/19 9:12am

Our roster just upgraded with our redshirt guys coming back...

mobomanjoe

11/17/19 9:26am

If Wilson plays like he did against Idaho State we will lose.

ThorLebowski

11/17/19 9:36am

Depends who starts.

cougfanz

11/17/19 9:40am

And what were your fears prior to the USU game? Genuinely asking.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 9:54am

Genuine answer.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 10:04am

Fair enough. BYU plays to its competition. Kalani will have his guys ready.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 10:11am

Those 2 sentences don't combine to instill hope.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 10:13am

Under that premise, our performance will improve from yesterday.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 10:28am

I share your concerns. However, we often play better when motivated. I think

PortlandBlue

11/17/19 10:26am

None of our players recognize old MWC foes other than the ones we still

Cougarbib

11/17/19 10:52am

Rocky Long at SDSU said as much. He loathes the idea of playing BYU. But, it's

TrueBlue67

11/17/19 11:47am

Exactly. Current players do not relate to it.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:54am

The sacks were on ZW

Boring

11/17/19 10:53am

Oddly enough, BR sees the field much better than ZW.

TrueBlue67

11/17/19 11:48am

THe blitz inside the twenty that got there in a blink of an eye

BYU '80

11/17/19 8:45pm

This guy gets it.

mendoncoug

11/17/19 11:08am

Such insight. Wow.

Benfica1

11/17/19 11:23am

Change probable to possible and you'd have it right.

WaybackCougar

11/17/19 11:23am

Yep, this. Probable is not the best word.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 11:53am

They will likely be favored. Thus, probable is the right word.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:57am

the perpetual pessimists are always trying to convince others they're realistic

Lip Gallagher

11/17/19 12:30pm

You're right. We'll probably never lose again!!!

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 12:56pm

And CBers know nothing but extremes.

Lip Gallagher

11/17/19 2:55pm

We play better against better competition

KendoVABeach

11/17/19 12:53pm

I disagree. Other than Washington, we’ve played to the quality of our opponents

Robbinoburrito

11/17/19 12:57pm

Agree with everything plus Rocky Long hates us

stansburycoug

11/17/19 1:04pm

Oh. Gee. The sky is falling.

Elvis

11/17/19 1:19pm

A clean crisp focused effort on offense 1st qtr would have been nice.

Cougarbib

11/17/19 1:58pm

Agree with the concerns, but still expect BYU to step up and win like it has

Bee Chunder

11/17/19 1:47pm

I hope so. They are certainly capable.

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 1:59pm

You don’t hope you’re wrong though, it is ok to be honest

sidsie716

11/17/19 2:01pm

LOL. Cuz you know me really well, right?

The Y's Insider

11/17/19 2:20pm

To be sure, SDSU is not Utah. But UW, USC, Tennessee, Toledo, USF, BSU, USU

Cougarbib

11/17/19 2:10pm

I think you have to put SDSU below USU since USU beat SDSU in September

Bee Chunder

11/17/19 2:58pm

SDSU has gotten stronger. USU faded. SDSU coach hates

Cougarbib

11/17/19 4:35pm

SDSU beat Weber by 6, lost to USU and Nevada, and has barely won its other games

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 4:36pm

All of this is true or possible. We are not exactly a juggernaut, either. We

Cougarbib

11/17/19 4:49pm

Yep. I simply like our chances more than you guys do then.

DraperCoug22

11/17/19 5:05pm

My concern would be how the team views SDSU

stansburycoug

11/17/19 2:36pm

Good thing BYU had UMASS in between.

wilsdad

11/17/19 4:54pm

This Critic says you are just wrong.

Beetdiggercoug

11/17/19 4:56pm

I'm not surprised by anything anymore

Resurgens

11/17/19 6:46pm

It's because of independence. Eventually people will figure this out. Playing

Ash

11/17/19 7:33pm

Do you really wish BYU was still in the MWC?

Cougarbib

11/17/19 11:26pm

Dumb straw man. I've never advocated for the MWC.

Ash

11/18/19 2:45pm

Well. What exactly are you advocating for?

Cougarbib

11/18/19 2:48pm

For someone who is a troll it must be hard to understand that not every comment
